The title compound was synthesized analogous to 1a except the imine formation was performed at 30 °C for 18 h. Imine reduction required 13 equiv. of NaBH4, and the product was purified by silica gel chromatography (24 mm diameter column slurry packed with ~15 g of silica gel and eluted with 1:3 hexanes:diethyl ether) affording 1d (189.1 mg, 0.47 mmol, 74% yield over 3 steps) as white foam.
